Week in the Life | Day 3

Anzac Day today. We didnt get to do anything today for Anzac Day but hopefully next year.  I want our kids to alway know what today means.

Here is Day 3:



 



I am still really enjoying Week in the Life.  Much easier then when I did Day in the Life where I pretty much documented every hour... Loving these simple and easy templates.

Week in the Life | Day 2

I am really enjoying 'Week in the Life' so far.  I thought our week wouldn't be all that exciting but am loving documenting our boring everyday things.

Here is Day 2:

Week in the Life | Day 1

I was going to not bother doing this this week as Mathew was away but after thinking about it, this is our life at the moment.  Will be interesting to look back and see how we coped when he was away and what life was like.

Week in the Life is an Ali Edwards project.  Check out her link on the sidebar to find out more - definitely recommend it.  Ive been looking forward to this project and the December Daily but that is down the track, much much further down.

Here is Monday in the Daly household:





Im going to print these out at 8.5 x 11 and put them in a separate binder than my PL one as its pretty much full already.  Hope I can stay motivated for the week but we have a busy weekend with birthday parties, football and the circus on Sunday so very much looking forward to it.

Cant wait to see everyone elses pages!

Project Life | Week 14 - April 2 ~ April 8 EASTER WEEK :)

After a big Easter, I'm a bit behind but here is Week 14. Very photo heavy week as expected. We all had such a good Easter weekend and love all the photos. Holidays are becoming even better each year as Max and Harps get older.

I really enjoyed putting this week together. The last few have been a bit of a struggle.


On Easter Friday, we went to a local carnival. Mathew took Max on the dodgems or "crash cars" as Max calls. Love the black and white shot of them. Included a shot of dinner Mathew cooked that was de-lic-ious! Ribs, zucchini and mash potato - my fave! I printed the cards on photo paper with patterns that I like. Love how colourful and fun it turned out.



I took this shot on my iPhone and its one of my fave of all time. Love their smiles :)



I forgot to do Harps 7 month photo shoot so I did it this week and these are some of my favourites. She is such a happy and photogenic baby... Love how these capture her innocence and joy and of course Maxie sneaking into the room.




While I worked on Harps sleeping, Mathew took Max to kinder sports. It's a locally run kids thing where they do obstacle courses and play games. I was sad to have missed it so made Mathew take the camera. He LOVED it. Max loves playing with kids so I knew this would be up his alley. The smile in the photos says it all.


The photo on the left is when we were walking into the carnival. Max was stoked and thought we were going to a birthday party lol...



On Easter Saturday, we met up with the Dalys for a BBQ at the Causeway. Was so nice just relaxing with good company, good weather and great food. It's what family is all about. We stayed the night at the farm so we could do a treasure hunt early in the morning as Mathew and the boys were going fishing. He was into the treasure hunt but not so much into the chocolate??? What 3 yr old doesn't like easter eggs??? He tried one and was like "Yuck"?!



The last pages are a few randoms from the week. I am in love with the photo of Max and Harps. They just adore each other and I just hope it stays that way.



I thought I would try something new as I have seen this done a few times and looks so cute! I just used some easter egg confetti I got from Spotlight and used washi tap to close the pocket up. Think it looks cool...


As I said, I really loved doing this layer and am super happy with the final product.


My binder is almost full so will have to start saving for another and especially for all the new envelopes and page protectors that are coming out soon.

It's nearly Easter!

I just found this post sitting in the draft box... must have forgotten to post it - oops!   I took these photos on the lead up to Easter.  Was so excited for Easter I forgot to push the publish button.

Project Life | Week 13 – March 26 to April 1

What another stressful week in the Daly household with the strikes still ongoing... we try to stay strong and positive but it puts such a dark cloud over us but lucky we have so many positive things to focus on and 2 gorgeous and healthy children.  There must be a light at the end of the tunnel surely although they are talking of it going for months...

On a good note, here are some highlights for Week 13:

- Harper is sitting up for the 1st time, holding her own bottle and in a new car seat :(

- I got to watch Mathew play football here in Rocky even though we ended up at the hospital so he could get stitches from a head clash.  Strange that it was nice to spend some time together even if it was at the hospital :|

- Mathew took Max to Blackwater for the night, so B and I had a girls night

- Changed my hair colour from blonde to brown.

- Finished Photo a Day for March - Yay!

- Bought Maxie his 1st Broncos jersey - Go Yoncos!

Here are my pages



My first page included some shots of Max and Harper playing.  She just loves being able to sit up with Max and play with his toys.  Also a collage of a HUGE icecream Mathew got Max from Baskin Robbins.  Excuse the toilet shot but I had to include and I can always tell where Max has been by the trail of mess he leaves behind - must get that from his dad :|

I had to include the black and white transparent paper as my computer decided to play up while printing my photos.

I also included the Paris pictures I had some on Pinterest. I literally dream about going back there at least once a week.  Putting the photos in gave me a little Paris fix for the week :)



This page has a photo of the kids in their new seats whilst on our way to Sunday dinner at Mathews parents. A shot of Mathew in his Rocky brothers jersey.  Never thought I would see him wear any jersey other than Crushers but he is happier now that he is playing again.  Poor B had the worst rash around her mouth, so I had to take her to the doctors. Poor Darling :(   And finally the before and after of my hair. Its a lot darker than I thought but will just take some time to get used to.



This 3rd page was really rushed as my printed decided to play up - argh!  LOVE this photos of the kids in the bath.  Favourite time of the day.  A photo of Maxie eating icecream at the camp on their "boys trip".  Was nice for the two of them to spend some time together. am LOVING this 'We are young' song so had to include that and last a bit of  a story about our girls night. Was strange not having Maxie home... missed him.



I took a photo of B when she first woke up.  These are the things I want to remember as Max grew up so fast I cant really remember those moments - shocking memory.   I included a collage of the photobook I made from Christmas 2011 (finally!!).  I ordered this book from Kikki K and really happy with how it turned out.  Next project is Harpers Christening.

I included the photos of Harps big moments this week and finally I have seen people do this and really wanted to try the whole 1 photo in 4 sleeves thing.  I chose this photo as it reminds me of Max and how he has to go outside everyday and find the moon.  It's just so sweet.  He just stares at it with amazement.  This shot he took me outside and the sunset was so pretty. I'm happy with how it turned out :)

Not long until Easter!!! So excited for the Easter Bunny to come and have an easter egg hunt in the morning.  Plus there is a carnival on at the moment so we re going to take Maxie to that.  Good times ahead :)
